A New Zealand kayaker had a very lucky escape recently after being trapped on a remote Australian island for more than two weeks by a huge saltwater crocodile.
The animal prevented Ryan Blair from leaving Governor Island, off the north coast of Australia, and he survived only because a local on the mainland spotted his light.

Mr Blair was praised by some for managing to survive for so long. However, according to one local, quoted in the Huffington Post, Mr Blair is "not a hero; he's an idiot".
